What I’ve learned is there’s a scientifically proven phenomenon that’s attached to gratitude, and that if you consciously take note of what is good in your life, quantifiable benefits happen.
It is somewhat remarkable that Cornwall has produced no musical genius of any note, and yet the Cornishman is akin to the Welshman and the Irishman.
In order to get a note out, I have to dig deep, and I mean that on an emotional level. To physically sing, I have to get somewhere deep before I can do it.
There is a note in the front of the volume saying that no public reading may be given without first getting the author’s permission. It ought to be made much more difficult to do than that.
I’m not a policy oriented person. I’m constrained to what I study. But educational policy has not yet taken adequate note of the whole child. Kids are not just their IQ or standardized test scores. It matters whether or not they show up, how hard they work.
You can be creative and not addictive, or addictive and not creative. Most addicted people do not produce anything of remarkable note.
I had written a novel that was more of a classic linear novel, and I worked on it and worked on it for years, and it always seemed like it wouldn’t catch fire. At a certain point I just scrapped it all, and I kept maybe 15 percent of it, and I wrote those parts out on note cards.
I learn fast and I take note of what I’ve been told.
If my boyfriend was kicking me out of our house, I wouldn’t leave peacefully and leave a note. I would have trashed the place. It would have been a lot more traumatic.
There are many types of silence. There is a silence before the note, there is a silence at the end and there is a silence in the middle.
I admit that Post-it note sheets that adhere to virtually any surface are now my substitute of choice for retention.
Almost every time I go to the ocean, I think about throwing my phone right into it. Sometimes, you pull that thing out of your pocket, you look at it, and you’re like, ‘What was I just going to do with this? Was I going to take a note? Was I going to check my email? Was I going to take a picture?’
We are each but a quarter note in a grand symphony.
Once you start playing a piece, there is a connection between every note. You cannot say, ‘I will not concentrate on this note.’ You cannot ignore things the way you do in the rest of your life.
People say I’m a one-note actor, but the way I figure it, those other guys are just looking for that one right note.
What I was interested in was conveying an emotional message, which means using everything you’ve got inside you sometimes to barely make a note, or if you have to strain to sing, you sing.
Being appreciated for playing a female warrior seems too good to be true. I enjoy playing such empowered roles, and on a related note, that’s why I agreed to become the brand ambassador for the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign.
On a more serious note, my challenges with hearing loss are certainly an interesting journey. The surprising upside is that my difficulties in hearing have motivated me to know my guitar fretboard better. My playing has become much more melodic and intentional as a result.
We are all busy. It’s easy to find excuses for not reaching out to others, but I imagine they will sound as hollow to our Heavenly Father as the elementary school boy who gave his teacher a note asking that he be excused from school March 30th through the 34th.
You know, I used to warm the thermometer on the light bulb… I was really good at being sick. I could forge my mother’s signature on a sick note so well I was hardly ever at school.
Saying Kaepernick is a distraction is based largely on opinion. You could say his decision to kneel for the national anthem was detrimental to the team. If that is so, I would hope you’d note that Kaepernick’s teammates gave him the Len Eshmont Award at the end of the season.
For me, the only thing that makes one scale different from another is not the starting note; it’s the separation of the intervals.
I always look for the weirdest note to land on. I felt that that was the least I could do for the great musical traditions which I’ve spawned.
On a personal note: I have contracted an outstanding case of breast cancer, from which I intend to recover. I don’t need get-well cards, but I would like the beloved women readers to do something for me: Go. Get. The. Damn. Mammogram. Done.
When I first went to LA. Honestly, it was different for me. The whole thing, the student-athlete part, you know, where the student came before the athlete. That was totally new to me. I had down online school since fifth grade so I never really had sat in a classroom and taken a note.
Those who are not trained singers will find that their voice quavers. That should not happen. The quaver should be used only where necessary and not because a singer cannot hold a note or a tune.
I’m tired of people disturbing the peace, getting on the radio and sounding a hot mess. If I can tell what the note really is, why let them go to the note they think it is? I’ve got that mama vibe. I don’t look at it with an ego.
As a melody instrument player, it’s all about getting from one note to the next, and those intervals and how you navigate your way through these vertical structures of chords. You realize that everything’s moving forward, and it’s all linear.
Obama has been perhaps the most partisan President since Truman. He hasn’t learned to be civil – note his insulting speech to Paul Ryan, who did us the courtesy of scoring a budget. The president has to talk to Republicans when it comes to the debt ceiling. He has reached the debt ceiling before anyone expected.
It is shameful that the working committee of United Nation Security Council has raised serious question on India’s ability to fight against terrorism, and the government should take note of it.
I never make a note of anything; I never even write a plot down.
I don’t want to make ‘Chandni Bar 2.’ I didn’t think ‘Fashion 2’ will happen. If a film ends on a high note… makes the audience think and lingers in the end… that is needed.
Muslim girls, we love fashion! Whether we wear the hijab or not – it’s our choice – and it’s time the industry took note. Finally, fashion stores are open to that idea.
I started working in an STD phone booth where I had to note down all the numbers that were dialed – this was post 9/11 when security was a looming issue. I got Rs 10 per day for my work. Soon after, a benefactor offered me a job in a cybercafe down the road for Rs 20.
I do remember, though, when I discovered the third! I was about five years old – it was a very pleasing sound. I remembered that if I hit one note, then skipped one and played the next, I could get this really good sound.
I start with a beat sheet, which is more of an abbreviated outline. It hits all the major plot points. From there, I move to note cards. But the most important part of my process is my inspiration board.
On a serious note, I just enjoy exploring the unconventional. I like Alfred Hitchcock; I actually grew up watching his films. A thriller gives you much more scope of exhibiting creativity in terms of playing with the camera and sound, as against a typical love story.
Snow is so common that I have omitted to note its falling at least two days out of Three.
Woody is so musical in his filmmaking. I’ve never worked with anyone I’ve trusted so completely. He won’t let you hit a false note.
I did play every little note on the guitar on that record.
The bane of every TV writer’s existence is the likability note.
People should look up to me. Young kids. I am a good role model. I’ll show them how men should really be. And kids can take note from that. I am a good role model. Lots of kids look up to me.
Side note, I was Prom Prince. My friend and I campaigned to be Prom King and Queen, and we got the rest of the non-popular people in the school to vote for us. We didn’t win, but we got Prince and Princess.
Own every note I sing and sell it. Make a connection to the audience. That’s what it comes down to, you know?
For the most part, I’ve been influenced by black singers and singers I couldn’t sound like. Whenever I tried to do a dark note or a bent note, I would just sound like Hootie And The Blowfish.
Everyone is different, but I’m not standoffish at all. I’m not one of those people who prefer to write a note. I’ll walk right up to you and ask you out! Even if the answer’s no, I’m totally cool with it.
I am all for greening tall buildings, but I’m also very keen to note that greening a building doesn’t cope with the problem of the tall building in the texture of the city.
Did I become a theater person right then, sitting in the Imperial Theater, waiting for the high piccolo note at the start of ‘Pippin’? Maybe.
One of my favorites is one called ‘Rory’s Radio’ that I wrote about my brother Jeff’s best friend growing up – his name was Rory Dunigan. I dedicated my first record to my brother, who got killed in a car accident in 1999, and I really didn’t have any songs on the first album about him, nothing on a personal note.
I feel like a 1960s graduate student. I still work on note cards. I’ve never found a better system.
There is no formula to it. Writing every song is a little journey. The first note has to lift you.
